Tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibits ovulation and steroidogenesis, but not prostaglandin production in the perfused rat ovary
OBJECTIVE: We tested the null hypothesis that tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) does not decrease ovulation, estradiol and progesterone production, or prostaglandin (PG) E(2), PGF(2alpha), or 6 keto-PGF(1alpha) production in the open bursa rat ovarian perfusion model
